Rooting? Should I? Could I?

[Tech2011]

Hello AC members!
I own a Samsung Intercept (Running Froyo). I have a couple of complaints with Samsung. For one, they load a whole bunch of junk such as Amazon MP3 on it. (Which I don't need at all. Completely pointless.) I would like to remove it because it takes up space.
Is it possible to remove the OEM junk from my device if I root it?
If so, then what would be the consequences of rooting it?
I hear that it lowers stability and security. I'm not sure if it's worth it if that's the case. Otherwise, I'm certainly willing to root it just so I can remove the OEM apps. I'm running out of space on my device and a lot of apps that I intend on downloading that don't support Apps-2-SD. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for all the help!

Rooting does not cause any issues. It just gives you superuser access and thats it. It doesn't give you virus or make your phone more prone to virus. Rooted or not, the device can get virus if your downloading from an un-trusted source.

Here is how to root
